Re: Cannot access redirected folders after a cluster server failover

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Jeff was saying that based on your error messages, it appeared you were trying to snapshot a local disk on the server to a cluster disk resource. This will not work because there is no guarantee which node will own that clustered disk when the snapshot is taken...so, the better plan would be to snapshot to either another internal disk on the node or to a SAN disk that is mapped to the server but is not part of the cluster so it will not failover between nodes.

Let's take a step back. You should never use a shared cluster disk to store
scheduled volume snapshots of local disks for the obvious reason that the
node may not own that disk 100% of the time. In this scenario, use another
local disk or a disk from the SAN that's ONLY presented to that node (ie.
not clustered). As far as the loss of permissions, make sure that you don't
have any share level permissions set on the folder/subfolders thru Windows
Explorer. Those settings are stored in the local LanManServer registry and
don't move between nodes on failover.

I don't follow that at all. Are you saying I should create a
completely separate, non-clustered disk for my laptops that they can
synch their data, and use a clustered disk for desktops, which don't
need synched local copies since they'll be on the network at all times?
